I have a staff sling on my low char now and after this NW/PR change the damage it does just makes it pointless for the PR it takes up, even if it does fire in all ranged rounds. On average it does less than half the damage one of my light crossbows does.
Even the + isn't that cheap, maybe it could be scaled down to something similar to a dagger or other low base weapon?

Maybe slings could be linked to UC in some way...? That would make them more useful.
Link the UC trained skill to the damage done, higher UC, higher x on the sling. Then it would be a proper ninja's weapon! :D

After talking about this in the channel and finding out the sling is not a blowgun which I kept thinking it was, I came to conclusion of a new item: A sling shield. How does it work you might ask? Well it fires at opponents, and blocks incoming attacks, this weapon/shield would do a lot more damage than other slings would. It would be easy to upgrade/cheap not as cheap as elb but ohwell it is something. Oh and you can't wear another shield with this weapon/shield hybrid.

Items such as SoD, HoF, CoT and GoP/MoD won't work under this new NW=PR system. They are way too overpowered at 50k NW, and not many want to use them if their NW was scaled up to match their abilities.

If we got trebuchets, the shop keeper might get annoyed at all the piles of flaming boulders taking up shelf space.
